So now looking to get some new tyres tomorrow morning but i will keep you updated and thanks for your suggestions!

Hope that sorts it out for you. Starting to get expensive if it doesn't.

Good luck.

Same here ...I cant think of anything else that could be causing the noise so fingers crossed.

a tyre making a grinding noise though? strange. and why is it making it so hard to accelerate?
are the tyres directional by any chance?

when you can, check the side of the tyre, they should have arrows pointing the direction the should be turning.

Hmm I was thinking this but the fitment is right for the focus so shouldnt need spacers!

The et is not the issue, spacers won't do anything other than increase the st and you may cause the Tyres to rub on the bodywork, both stnd and his wheels are et40.

Tyres can make a hefty difference to cabin noise, but I'd also get the wheel allignment looked at, it could be you're camber is out and/or toe.
